Animals often have hilarious interactions with one another! Sometimes those reactions are between dogs and cats, and other times, horses and cows! One incredibly elegant horse met the neighbor’s cows for the first time and it was caught on video!
Horses and cows have a long history.
In a viral video released by Tara, the horses owner, a Friesian horse gets to meet the neighbor’s cows for the first time. The entire event was really runny to watch and tells us a lot about the interaction between the two species. What makes it even more incredible is just how beautiful of a horse Koning is.
Koning, the horses name, is a bred Friesian.
Friesian horses originate from the Netherlands and are known for their grace, despite their size. They were often believed to be used as war horses as their size allowed a fully dressed knight to ride on them. Usually found in all black, there are fewer more striking and graceful horses.
The Friesian (also Frizian) is a horse breed originating in Friesland, in the Netherlands. Although the conformation of the breed resembles that of a light draught horse, Friesians are graceful and nimble for their size. It is believed that during the Middle Ages, ancestors of Friesian horses were in great demand as war horses throughout continental Europe.
The interaction between this beautiful horse and a herd of cows is worth watching.
Koning can be seen in the video wearing a white blanket that makes his black hair even inkier than normal. With the sun glinting off of this wonderful animal, you can see why they used them for war! Trotting forward with a high-stepping gait, Koning goes to see these strange, rusty, short horses that are on the other side of the fence.
Getting closer we see they are just cows!
As Koning trots closer, the herd backs off a bit because of the imposing figure that the horse strikes. Soon enough, however, they seem to be adjusted a bit better. Getting up to the fence, Koning stares at the strange creatures who look nothing like him.
As the two species take each other in, more cows come to watch the show.
As a human, seeing a horse like this trot around would be enough to get me interested enough to come to the gate and watch. For the cows, they seem to think the same thing! The entire herd walks up to the fence as they all watch each other in a very intelligent fashion.
At one point, the horse and cow meet!
Getting close to the fence, a cow from the herd and Koning get close enough to touch. Koning leans his head down and the cow stretches its neck upward. Meeting in the middle, the two touch noses and say hello! Who knew that horses and cows were such good friends?
After a long day of showing off and meeting new friends, the two species go their own way.
Koning seemed to be showing off a bit the entire time, but can we blame him? After the horse and cow met, Koning seemed to be content with letting the herd go on their way. It seems that there are still unlikely friendships budding, even on farms.
